St John Beach Hut
This is just an idea...but I have been thinking about trying to open a bar/restaurant in St. John once I settle down there. It would be in a "beach hut" kind of style. What is the demand for these places like in St. John.
Do you think this is a good idea?
Also...might it be better to try to open this in St. Thomas?
This sounds like an interesting idea. Tell more about it

when are you planning to do this, I need a job, and bartending is my bag.
Have you thought about showing local art work on the walls for sale by local artists? I managed a restaurant here that had great luck with this?
I have thought about doing the same thing in St.Croix. I wonder what the estimated start up cost is? Have you done any research?

I havent done any research but I would like to start. I just wonder how restaurants in St. John do at different times of the year. Does anybody know? Would I have any luck opening in a place besides Cruz Bay?
Hello Peter,
Your choices for locations are limited; particular the beaches; National Park protects much of St. John and its beaches. Most restaurants in the VI depend on both visitors and residents... so you would need to be popular with both; residents can keep you going in slow season. There are a few restaurants on St. John (and St. Thomas/St. Croix) that close for 2 week to a month during the slowest of off season and do renovations, take vacation and what have you. There are restaurants outside of Cruz Bay... mostly in Coral Bay.
